Captain Basil Jennico, a dashing English gentleman serving the Austrian Empire, finds his life irrevocably altered by an unexpected inheritance. A vast fortune and a sprawling estate in Moravia come with a singular condition from his late uncle: Jennico must "sell and settle," marrying into a suitable lineage to continue his family's esteemed name. However, the allure of his newfound lordship at Tollendhal proves potent, and his ambitious plans take an unexpected turn when he encounters the captivating Princess Marie Ottilie and her mysterious lady-in-waiting. As Jennico navigates a world of courtly intrigue, hidden identities, and perilous escapades, his inherent pride is tested. This lively historical romance, set in the mid-1700s, follows Captain Jennico's journey to overcome his own arrogance and discover where true love and loyalty lie amidst conspiracy and daring adventures.
